Blepharoplasty removes wrinkles

Many patients, turning to a plastic surgeon for help, expect miracles. But modern plastic surgery methods have their limitations. For example, blepharoplasty is not able to eliminate absolutely all age-related changes. This must be taken into account so as not to be disappointed with the result. If the patient expects that after blepharoplasty the wrinkles around the eyes will disappear or the eyebrow line will rise, he will be disappointed. Blepharoplasty has slightly different tasks. But if you use additional anti-aging procedures in parallel, the effect will be greater.

The main task of blepharoplasty is to remove excess skin and fatty tissue from the eyelid area. This allows you to remove bags under the eyes and make your look more open.

What is not included in the objectives of blepharoplasty, what should not be expected from this operation?

1. It is impossible to correct the corners of the eye. The corners remain the same.
2. The eyebrow line is not raised. Unfortunately, with age, this line gradually drops. But modern methods of upper eyelid surgery do not make it possible to raise the eyebrows, returning them to the position characteristic of the age of sixteen.
3. Blepharoplasty does not remove static and expression wrinkles. Therefore, if you are hoping to get rid of this type of age-related changes with the help of this operation, it is better not to indulge yourself with unrealistic hopes. But additionally, you can use the method of laser skin resurfacing in the lower eyelid area. It is performed using Fraxel Dual or UltraPulse devices. This method allows you to get rid of a network of fine wrinkles. If laser resurfacing is combined with blepharoplasty, the result will be more impressive.

It is best to ask your plastic surgeon to explain in detail what changes will be made before deciding to have surgery. The surgeon will explain what changes blepharoplasty can make in your case (this depends on both age and individual skin characteristics). You will clearly imagine the outcome of the operation and will not dream of the impossible.

Interestingly, misconceptions about blepharoplasty sometimes work in the opposite direction: potential patients think that the surgery will not help them. A common stereotype is to consider blepharoplasty as an age-related operation. In fact, this operation is also indicated for young patients who have excess skin or fat deposits in the eyelid area, read more here. Blepharoplasty, in particular, allows you to eliminate bags under the eyes, and this problem is observed even in people of a fairly young age.

We suggest you figure out how to remove wrinkles under the eyes at home, because facial changes very often become the cause of an unaesthetic appearance.

BLEPHAROLASTY WITHOUT SURGERY

Plastic surgeon, Pavlov E.A.:

Hello, my name is Pavlov Evgeniy Anatolyevich, and I am a leading plastic surgeon at a famous Moscow clinic.

My medical experience is more than 15 years. Every year I perform hundreds of operations, for which people are willing to pay HUGE money. Unfortunately, many people do not even suspect that in 90% of cases surgery is not required! Modern medicine has long allowed us to correct most appearance flaws without the help of plastic surgery.
For example, not long ago a new tool appeared Maxclinic Lifting Stick, just look at the effect:

Rating of the best creams for eliminating wrinkles

There are a large number of cosmetic products that can quickly remove wrinkles under the eyes and restore elasticity and radiance to the skin. We suggest looking at the table, which presents the rating of the best anti-wrinkle creams.

Note! In order for cosmetics to provide truly good results, they must be applied according to the recommendations indicated on the packaging.

Use of essential oils

Essential oils help effectively remove wrinkles under the eyes. The most popular extracts are jojoba, sesame, almond and cocoa. You can also use a solution of vitamin E mixed with any of these types of essential oils to enrich the skin.

Cranberry seed ester has a good effect. This product helps smooth out wrinkles and prevent their formation. Thanks to the light texture of the oil, the skin becomes moisturized and retains moisture for a long time. Rose, geranium, rosemary, fennel and verbena oils are also suitable for eliminating facial wrinkles in the periorbital area. The extracts of these products are able to penetrate into the deep layers of the epithelium, fill them with useful substances and restore the skin.

Help from beauty salons

Many women do not trust the effects of creams, so they take a more radical approach to solving the problem of the appearance of severe wrinkles under the eyes. To do this, they go to popular salon procedures.

When choosing such manipulations, remember that one procedure cannot achieve a perfect effect.

Only an integrated approach to eliminating wrinkles guarantees the desired result. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the most effective salon procedures that are actively used in the fight for female beauty and youth.

Performing mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is a procedure that is based on the introduction of special mineral substances under the epithelium that intensively nourish the skin and promote the production of elastin and collagen. Also, thanks to such manipulations, the speed of microcirculation significantly increases. Mesotherapy is considered a safe way to eliminate wrinkles, but it will require regular procedures to be effective. To ensure a lasting effect, it is recommended to do mesotherapy once every 30-35 days.

Using photorejuvenation

The photorejuvenation procedure in the salon is another way to remove wrinkles under the eyes. The manipulations involve exposing the epithelium to light rays. This method provides a pronounced effect, but after it is carried out, swelling and the appearance of pigment spots are sometimes observed. Swelling goes away after 9-10 days, but pigmentation may remain for a longer period. To avoid such consequences, you need to diagnose the dermis. If the epithelium is sensitive to ultraviolet rays, and there are also serious skin diseases, then photorejuvenation cannot be performed.

Biorevitalization

Biorevitalization refers to subcutaneous injections or injections that allow you to remove wrinkles under the eyes. Manipulations are suitable for women after reaching 30 years of age. The injections contain hyaluronic acid in the form of a gel. This substance is responsible for the elasticity and youth of the skin; it is initially contained in the epithelium, but with age its amount decreases. Timely replenishment of hyaluronic acid in the dermis promotes skin rejuvenation. Biorevitalization also increases collagen synthesis at the cellular level and activates skin renewal.

Botox injections

Botulinum toxin is based on substances that block the transmission of nerve impulses, so Botox removes wrinkles under the eyes quickly. The substance is injected into the area of ​​the circular muscle and helps to relax it. Thanks to this, the facial muscles are unloaded, and wrinkles in the eye area are significantly smoothed out. Despite all its benefits, Botox can cause unpleasant consequences. If the substance is administered incorrectly, it can inhibit muscle function, which will lead to their degradation.

Important! If you perform the procedure correctly, using high-quality preparations, following all technologies, then the effect of such rejuvenation will last from six months to 2 years.

Application of masks based on organic acids

Another procedure aimed at removing wrinkles under the eyes involves cosmetologists preparing special masks. Thanks to this method of solving the problem, it will be possible to reduce the signs of aging, and make deep skin lesions much less noticeable. To achieve a pronounced result, you will need to carry out procedures over a course of 12-14 days. This method is distinguished by its naturalness, filling the skin with nutrients and moisture.

Laser resurfacing

An effective way of rejuvenation is to remove wrinkles under the eyes with a laser; many beauty salons are actively introducing this technique. Since the location of the folds is lower than the level of the epithelium, the laser device evens out the irregularities, making them less noticeable. During exposure, collagen formation is stimulated, wrinkles are filled, and deep scars are eliminated.

Average prices for removing wrinkles under the eyes in a salon range from 5,000-20,000 rubles.

How to remove fine and deep wrinkles under the eyes using traditional medicine

You can also rejuvenate your face on your own. To do this, you need to use familiar components and masks. An effective solution to the problem is the use of special compresses that are placed around the visual organs. There is a good method to remove small wrinkles under the eyes:

1. You need to take fresh lettuce leaves, chop them finely and mash.
2. Form small “cutlets” from the resulting mass and apply them to problem areas.
3. This procedure must be performed morning and evening, the rejuvenation course lasts a month.

Similarly, you can use the color of lilac and apple tree. In addition, there are a large number of mask recipes that have a faster and more noticeable effect. Let's figure out whether it is possible to remove wrinkles under the eyes using folk cosmetology, and consider effective methods.

Heparin ointment + peach and olive extracts

To prepare such a remedy, you need to take heparin ointment (about 3 mg), mix with 1 tsp. peach and olive oil. The consistency should be more or less homogeneous; it is applied to facial changes using small patting movements. The mask is left for 20-25 minutes and then washed off with warm water. After this, another layer of ointment is applied to the area that requires rejuvenation, but without adding essential oils. Leave the product until it disappears completely.

Almond oil, honey and vitamin E

With the help of such components, you can prepare a mask that helps eliminate not only wrinkles, but also oily shine, and also guarantees smoothing of the texture of the epithelium. Almond oil smoothes out wrinkles well, honey moisturizes and evens out the skin, and vitamin E restores its healthy color. That is why, in combination, such components can provide high-quality results.

Preparation:

1. You need to take 20 ml of almond oil, 1 tsp. buckwheat honey and one ampoule of vitamin E.
2. The components are mixed until a homogeneous composition is obtained, and then applied with light movements to the wrinkle area.
3. When applying the mask, it is very important that it does not get into your eyes. The prepared composition is left on the face overnight.
4. In the morning, cleanse the skin with micellar water and apply a moisturizer.

This procedure is performed twice a week.

Parsley, lemon juice and olive oil

A good method for removing wrinkles under the eyes, recommended at age 30, is based on a remedy made from parsley, lemon juice and olive oil. The greens are crushed using a blender to form a puree. You should get 1 tbsp. l. such a mass. Parsley is mixed with olive oil (20 g) and 1 tbsp is added. l. fresh lemon juice. All components are mixed and applied to the area around the lower eyelids. The mask is left on the face for 15 minutes. Then you can remove the remaining substances with micellar water or wash with running water.

In the video you can see what procedure to remove wrinkles under the eyes, spending just a few minutes:

Application of starch

Potato starch helps tighten the skin and smooth out the structure. The use of starch to prepare masks is important for women with oily skin types, as well as enlarged pores on the face. To prepare such a product, take 20 g of bee honey, the same amount of starch, cucumber or aloe juice, sour cream or kefir. All components must be thoroughly mixed, applied to the face, left for half an hour, and then removed with cold filtered water.

Glycerin agent

The glycerin composition has proven itself as an effective remedy for removing signs of aging; it is suitable for any type of epithelium. To prepare, take the yolk of a chicken egg and mix it with 0.5 tbsp. l. glycerin. Gently spread the product onto your face, then wait 15 minutes and wash off with running water. For women who have not yet turned 35 years old, performing such a mask once every 7 days will be sufficient.

Lemon based

Lemon composition is suitable for women who have oily skin type and a large number of deep wrinkles on the face. Lemon juice helps regulate skin oil levels and also guarantees a lifting effect in the area of ​​application. To prepare this product take:

1. 1/2 lemon;
2. 1 yolk;
3. 4 tsp. boiled beans.

Make a puree from the cooked beans, add lemon juice (about 20 ml) to the mixture, and season the mixture with egg yolk. The mixture is mixed, applied to problem areas, and left for 20 minutes. Applying such a mask once a week can replace trips to cosmetologists.

In 2014, I gave birth to a daughter, and two years later I didn’t recognize myself in the mirror. All this time I had a strict schedule: during the day I took care of the baby, at night I wrote and edited articles. And I don’t know what played the fatal role - eternal lack of sleep, fatigue, stress or hormone fluctuations (I suspect all at once) - but one fine day my appearance horrified me.

Due to sitting in front of the computer for a long time in the “straighten your back and take your hand away from your face” position, the oval of this very face sagged on both sides of the chin. Dark circles and hollows appeared under the eyes; not a single concealer hid them. On the upper eyelids there were overhanging folds, which gave the face a tired expression and made it difficult to apply makeup: eyeliner and shadows were instantly smeared. Moreover, nasolabial folds and creases were revealed.

I don’t want to look older than my 36 years, I don’t consider plastic surgery to be evil and I can’t stand reasoning in the spirit of “my wrinkles are my wealth.” Thank you, leave the wrinkles to yourself. And I’m going to the Beauty Time clinic for a consultation with a cosmetologist.

There it turns out that drooping eyelids cannot be removed either with Botox or sculptural massage - only blepharoplasty. Dips under the eyes are successfully corrected by lipofilling. Self-massage and hardware lifting will help tighten the skin of the lower part of the face, and fillers with hyaluronic acid will smooth out nasolabial folds. All these procedures took me almost six months, but the time was not wasted.

July. Blepharoplasty for drooping eyelid creases

Everything happened quickly. On Monday I talked with a plastic surgeon - the chief physician of the clinic, Otari Gogiberidze. On Tuesday I took tests for local anesthesia: a general blood and urine test, a blood test for HIV, hepatitis and syphilis (if I had chosen general anesthesia, the list would have been longer, including an ECG and fluorography). And on Thursday I showed up for the operation.

I signed a bunch of documents, the anesthesiologist selected a drug for local anesthesia (I am allergic to lidocaine), the surgeon marked the incision lines on the upper eyelids with a marker, the contours for lipofilling on the lower eyelids, and explained how the operation would go. He also said that drooping eyelids are a genetic feature. And then it started - and... it ended very quickly. Excess skin was excised on the upper eyelids, after which sutures were placed that were invisible in the natural crease of the eyelid.

According to my feelings, the blepharoplasty lasted no more than half an hour (in fact, no). What happened on the operating table can be seen in the photo. I still can’t understand how our photographer Nastya managed to remain calm in the face of such manipulations - I myself was ready to faint while I was choosing frames for publication from this photo shoot.

Lipofilling against hollows under the eyes

The lipofilling procedure was performed immediately after blepharoplasty. They took fat tissue from my inner thighs using a blunt cannula, processed it, and then injected it into the area under my eyes. After finishing, strips were glued to the skin of the eyelids - thin sterile waterproof patches that secure the sutures. When the anesthesia wore off, surprisingly, I didn’t have any pain at all, I never even took a painkiller. And just 4 hours after the operation, I was riding the subway home wearing dark glasses.

The next day the temperature rose slightly to 37.2 degrees, the eyelids were very swollen, so that only slits remained from the eyes. On the second day after the operation, the stitches were removed, the swelling decreased, but persisted for about a week. And for about a month there were cute little “pads” under the eyes, like Asian girls. I really liked them.

I wore the strip patches for nine days, and went to work in this form - those around me did not seem to notice anything, at least they reacted normally. I did not use cosmetics; instead of washing my face, I wiped the skin of the upper part of my face with chlorhexidine. I am incredibly pleased with the result: the upper eyelids are smooth and even, the skin around the eyes is light and dense, wrinkles have decreased. And eyeliner and shadows last from morning to evening. The scars on the crease of the eyelid still remain, but now, five months after the operation, they look twice as pale and thinner.

August. Thermolifting against sagging skin

About two weeks after blepharoplasty, I came to cosmetologist Tatyana Al Sabunchi to tidy up the sagging skin in the lower jaw area using infrared thermolifting using a Joule Sciton device with a Skin Tyte ll attachment. Here everything turned out to be simple: the eyes were protected with dark glasses, a conductor gel was applied to the skin of the lower part of the face, and a nozzle that shone like a Jedi sword was moved over the top. The whole process took about 20 minutes. During this time, infrared radiation warmed the skin so that the synthesis of collagen fibers in the dermis was activated.

During the procedure, a rather intense heat was felt, although the skin did not burn. Immediately after the session, the face turned slightly red, but after about an hour it returned to normal. I saw the lifting effect after about a month and a half: the skin was not much, but noticeably tightened and no longer hung like a bulldog. The oval of the face has become softer, the outline of the chin has become smoother.

December. Plasma injections for correction of nasolabial folds

All autumn I was attacked by seasonal dermatitis, and this condition is one of the contraindications for injections, so I had to wait with the correction of the nasolabial folds. The second contraindication turned out to be. the fillers themselves. At first, Tatyana Al Sabunchi planned to introduce a drug based on hyaluronic acid, but it contains lidocaine, so she decided not to risk it and proposed autologous cellular rejuvenation using the Swiss technology of Regen Lab. OK. And what is it?

The nurse takes blood from my vein. The tube of blood is placed in a centrifuge, where the plasma is separated under the influence of centrifugal force. Based on it, an autogel is made, which Tatyana injects into my nasolabial folds and fine wrinkles just below the corners of my mouth. The filling of wrinkles is noticeable immediately after the injection of the drug (this can be seen in the photo) and a couple of days after. Then the volume decreases, but the work of restoration and rejuvenation begins to boil in the skin cells. It will continue for about a year: fibrous tissue will form in the area of ​​the wrinkle, and gradually the fold will become less noticeable.

For me personally, plasma has another significant advantage. I have a strong phobia with hyaluronic acid fillers: after their injection, a complication such as irreversible blindness is possible. And although the risk is negligible, one case in several million, it still exists. But in the case of plasma, it is completely excluded.

What else can I say about my long beauty marathon? That the result is there, it is noticeable, but at the same time natural. So much so that none of my friends believe it when I start listing all the procedures done. It's still me, but from 2 years ago. I like.
